Sven Batke
Lecturer in Biology, Edge Hill University
Sven Batke's work focuses on how future predicted changes in climate will affect plant-atmospheric water feedbacks. Some of his work included running multiple physiological plant growth chamber experiments at the UCD Programme for Experimental Atmospheres and Climate (Péac) facility and the analysis of physiological data from Community Land Model simulations. In 2016 he then secured an Irish Research Council Fellowship to investigate how increases in atmospheric CO2 will alter water-relations in tropical epiphytes in the future. Sven’s general research interests include plant ecology and physiology, climate modelling and global change.
